¹¹ Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because he pursued with the sword his brother, and disregarded his mercy, and his anger tore in pieces continually, and he kept his wrath for ever: ¹² And I will send out a fire against Theman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.

¹ The vision of ‘Obadiah: Thus hath said the Lord Eternal concerning Edom, A rumor have we heard from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her to war. ² Behold, I make thee small among the nations: thou shalt be greatly despised. ³ The presumption of thy heart hath beguiled thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? ⁴ Though thou wert to rise as high as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord. ⁵ How? are thieves come to thee? or night-prowling robbers? how destroyed art thou! would they not have stolen till they had enough? if grape-gatherers had come to thee, would they not have left some gleanings? ⁶ How are the treasures of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things laid open! ⁷ Up to the border have accompanied thee all the men of thy confederacy; beguiled, overcome thee have the men that were at peace with thee: they that eat thy bread have struck thee secretly a wound. There is no understanding in him. ⁸ Shall I not on that same day, saith the Lord, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau? ⁹ And thy mighty men, O Theman, shall be dismayed, in order that every one from the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter. ¹⁰ Because of thy violence against thy brother Jacob shall shame cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever. ¹¹ On the day that thou stoodest on the other side, on the day that strangers carried away captive his army, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots over Jerusalem, also thou wast as any one of them. ¹² But thou shouldst not have looked on pleased at the day of thy brother, on the day that he was delivered up to strangers; neither shouldst thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah on the day of their destruction; nor should thou have spoken proudly on the day of distress. ¹³ Thou shouldst not have entered into the gate of my people on the day of their calamity; yea, thou too shouldst not have looked pleased on their affliction on the day of their calamity; nor have laid hands on their army on the day of their calamity; ¹⁴ Neither shouldst thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldst thou have delivered up those of his that did remain on the day of distress. ¹⁵ For near is the day of the Lord over all the nations: as thou hast done, shall it be done unto thee; thy deeds shall return upon thy own head. ¹⁶ For as ye have drunk upon my holy mount, so shall all the nations drink continually; yea, they shall drink, and they shall reel about, and they shall be as though they had not been.

Is not Esau brother to Jacob? saith the Lord: yet I loved Jacob; ³ And Esau I hated; and I rendered his mountains a desert, and his heritage a dwelling for the monsters of the wilderness. ⁴ Should Edom even say, We are impoverished; but we will return and build the ruined places: thus hath said the Lord of hosts, They may indeed build, but I will surely throw down; and men shall call them, The territory of wickedness, and, The people against whom the Lord hath indignation to eternity. ⁵ And your eyes shall see it; and ye shall then say, The Lord will be magnified beyond the territory of Israel.
